 Marker purchasing tips:

Having a base of light tones, mid tones, and darks

is always a good idea. having a range in each col-
or is ideal, but it can take time to financially ac-
cumulate a good base.

My recommendation is to purchase colors based

on the animal you picked.

Find the base tone:

If you animal is primarily cool or warm tones, be

sure your base tone is a very light version of the
same.
If your animal is primarily one color, find a very
light base tone in that color family.

Mid Tones:

Having a range is good and not all colors are

obvious. Sometimes. It is good to other tones in
shadows and to add dimension.

Try to operate within warm and cool tones.

It is also good to have one dark gray, mid gray

and light gray.

My favorites are:

n1 (Neutral gray no. 1)

c5 (cool gray no. 5)
w8 (Warm Gray no. 8)
